David Crowley was a veteran of the U.S. Army, he served five years and left in 2009 to become a filmmaker. Komel Crowley was a registered dietician who ran her own business. One friend says they doted on their five-year-old daughter.

"They were great parents. They loved their kids," said Charles Hubbell, a friend of the couple.

All three of them were found shot to death in their Apple Valley home, and may have been that way for weeks. Neighbors say there had been no activity at the house for weeks, and Christmas packages were still unwrapped on the front step.

David Crowley's most high-profile film project was a movie trailer called "Gray State." The trailer on Youtube
shows FEMA agents killing Americans.

Hubbell stars in the trailer and says despite the project's violent slant, Crowley was professional and compassionate.

"This is not the David that I know. This is nowhere near the David I know. He was proud of his service. He was proud of his expertise," Hubbell said.
